CLASS PROPHECY The Crystal Gazer This little crystal sphere holds all of the past and all of the future, It can reveal the hidden and make known their secrets, It can tell you whatever your soul desires to know. I have been asked to search in its magic depths until I discover the future that awaits the members of our class, so soon to take their separate ways and perhaps never be reunited, I am about to read the crystal, but before doing so, may I ask you for your earnest co-operation? Won't you join me in concentrating upon the future, leaving your mind wiped free of all conflicting impressions, 1 can promise you the information you desire, The mist is clearing, I see the largest drug store in the country, There is the pharmacist behind the counter mixing medicine for a prescription, He is just turning around, What a surprise! The pharmacist is a lady. It is Delores Church, The scene changes, I see a large agriculture building, There is a group of boys watching a teacher demonstrate a new farm implement, The teacher seems to be well informed, He turns around to answer a pupil's question, It is Reuben Fortt, The mist blots out the scene and clears showing a large city, I see a large electric shop. Inside are the best electricians in the country, The door is opening, Here comes one of the chief electricians, It is Earl Conway. The scene becomes noisy. Hammering and buzzing fill the ear, I see a new building about to be constructed, The chief carpenter is approaching. It is James Williams, The scene shifts to a large room where there is a large display. It is an elementary classroom, The pupils seem to respect their teacher and to thoroughly understand what he is saying. He is coming this way, It is Marion Gale, The scene changes, It isa large city, We are in tne business district, I see a large office building, It is the Pentagon, I see Evangeline Garland, one of the highest paid stenographers, More clouds and more mists appear, Gazing through them, I see that I am still in the city.
